The thing about the All-Blades and killing "true evil" is that evil is subjective right, and I imagine he can sense more mundane evil too he just doesn't feel the same call to use the blades. But like, I think it's fair to say that the Joker is the exception. I think even aside from the trauma Jason can feel the pull to rid the world of him. Imagine being Jason "literal divine power of justice" Todd and having Bruce tell you that actually you don't get to decide who lives or dies. Your anger is literally so righteous and purifying that you have magic swords attached to your soul and some rich man is telling you that you can't play god. I would be soooo mad like what are you even talking about. Perhaps you can't but I am the subject of a prophecy and also probably immortal and also I'm definitely not entirely human anymore. So.
My official All-Blades tattoo design !
[Neat info under the cut]
- The blades are powered by Jason’s soul and blood and can be summoned anytime. The only physically aspect to the blades are the copper hilts.
- The tattoos are a deep red, like dried blood, and glow whenever Jason is using magic.
- The blades can harm magical and non-magical beings alike but cannot harm Jason. The blades along with the tattoos are slightly warm to the touch.
- If you listen closely, you can hear the blades humming softly to the rhythm of Jason’s heartbeat.
- The bands around his wrists act as cuffs chaining the blades to him and him to the blades binding him down to the soul.
- The circles on his hands and wrists rest over acupuncture points that link to the heart and the one of his chest rests over his heart.
